Professional Plastics RUREBK50A2.250X48.000 Polyurethane Rod

Product Description

The PROFESSIONAL PLASTICS RUREBK50A2.250X48.000 is a cast polyurethane rod measuring 2.25 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length. It carries a Shore 50A hardness rating, placing it in the medium-soft elastomeric range - flexible enough to absorb impact and vibration, yet firm enough to hold shape under moderate load. The black color is consistent throughout the material. Dimensional tolerance is -0/+0.025 inches on the diameter. Weighing 8.62 pounds, this rod is suited for shop fabrication, custom part machining, wear components, and isolation applications across industrial and mechanical trades.

Cast polyurethane rod in this diameter and hardness range is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and OEM production environments. Typical applications include machined bushings, rollers, wear pads, bumpers, seals, and vibration-dampening components. The 48-inch length allows multiple parts to be cut from a single piece, reducing material waste. This grade performs well in applications requiring resistance to abrasion, oils, and moderate chemical exposure. Industrial machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators are the primary users.

Key Features

• Shore 50A hardness - medium-soft rating suited for cushioning, sealing, and wear-resistance applications
• Cast rod construction provides dense, consistent material throughout the cross-section
• 2.25-inch diameter with a tight -0/+0.025 inch tolerance for reliable machined fitment
• 48-inch length yields multiple cut blanks from a single piece
• Black polyurethane material offers good abrasion and oil resistance
• Weighs 8.62 pounds - substantial stock material suitable for lathe and mill operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cast polyurethane rod stock for machining, fabrication, and custom component manufacture in industrial and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of polyurethane rod stock is typically performed by machinists or fabricators using standard lathe, band saw, or mill equipment. Allow material to reach ambient temperature before machining for best dimensional accuracy. Use sharp tooling and appropriate cutting speeds to avoid surface tearing or heat buildup. Follow applicable shop safety practices when handling or cutting elastomeric stock materials.
